Abstract Background: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) represents one of the most relevant vascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Moreover, T2DM patients suffering from PAD have an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and major adverse limb events (MALE). Sortilin, a protein involved in apolipoproteins trafficking, is associated with lower limb PAD in T2DM patients.Objective: To evaluate the relationship between baseline serum levels of sortilin, MACE and MALE occurrence after revascularization of T2DM patients with PAD and chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).Research Design and Methods: We performed a prospective non-randomized study including 230 statin-free T2DM patients with PAD and CLTI. Sortilin levels were measured before the endovascular intervention and incident outcomes were assessed during a 12-month follow-up.Results: Sortilin levels were significantly increased in individuals with more aggressive PAD (2.25 ± 0.51 ng/mL vs 1.44 ± 0.47 ng/mL, p < 0.001). During follow-up, 83 MACE and 116 MALE occurred. In patients, who then developed MACE and MALE, sortilin was higher. In particular, 2.46 ± 0.53 ng/mL vs 1.55 ± 0.42 ng/mL, p < 0.001 for MACE and 2.10 ± 0.54 ng/mL vs 1.65 ± 0.65 ng/mL, p < 0.001 for MALE. After adjusting for traditional atherosclerosis risk factors, the association between sortilin and vascular outcomes remained significant in a multivariate analysis. In our receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis using sortilin levels the prediction of MACE incidence improved (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.94) and MALE (AUC = 0.72).Conclusions: This study demonstrates that sortilin correlates with incidence of MACE and MALE after endovascular revascularization in a diabetic population with PAD and CLTI.

Introduction: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects 10-15% of people age 65 and older, and the prevalence is expected to rise as the population ages. People with PAD have greater functional impairment and faster decline in walking performance than people without PAD. Objectives: To determine the association between 1-year change in walking performance and mobility loss. We hypothesized that greater declines in walking performance over one year would be associated with higher rates of mobility loss. Methods: Participants underwent measurement of 6-minute walk and 4-meter walking velocity at baseline, and returned yearly for repeat measurement of walking performance and assessment of mobility. Participants were categorized into tertiles based on their 1-year change in walking performance (Tertile 1: greatest decline). Mobility loss was defined as becoming newly unable to walk one-quarter mile or walk up and down 1 flight of stairs without assistance after the 1-year follow-up. We used Cox proportional hazards models to examine the association between 1-year change in walking performance and mobility loss, adjusting for potential confounders. Results: 907 participants with PAD (mean age 71 +/- 9 years, 40% female, 23% black) were included. Median follow-up time was 38 months. Participants in Tertile 1 were older (mean 73 ± 9 years compared to 71 ± 9 in Tertile 2, and 70 ± 9 in Tertile 3; p=0.0004), had lower ABI (p=0.001), and included a higher prevalence of female (42% vs. 40% in Tertile 2, and 37% in Tertile 3; p=0.36). Participants with greater decline in 6-minute walk at 1-year follow-up had higher rates of mobility loss than participants with less decline. No significant associations of change in 4-meter walking speed and mobility loss were observed (Table). Conclusion: Among people with PAD, greater 1-year declines in six-minute walk distance are associated with higher rates of mobility loss. Further study is needed to determine whether interventions that prevent decline in six-minute walk can also prevent mobility loss.

ObjectiveIn patients with chronic coronary or peripheral artery disease enrolled in the Cardiovascular Outcomes for People Using Anticoagulation Strategies trial, randomised antithrombotic treatments were stopped after a median follow-up of 23 months because of benefits of the combination of rivaroxaban 2.5 mg two times per day and aspirin 100 mg once daily compared with aspirin 100 mg once daily. We assessed the effect of switching to non-study aspirin at the time of early stopping.MethodsIncident composite of myocardial infarction, stroke or cardiovascular death was estimated per 100 person-years (py) during randomised treatment (n=18 278) and after study treatment discontinuation to non-study aspirin (n=14 068).ResultsDuring randomised treatment, the combination compared with aspirin reduced the composite (2.2 vs 2.9/100 py, HR: 0.76, 95% CI 0.66 to 0.86), stroke (0.5 vs 0.8/100 py, HR: 0.58, 95% CI 0.44 to 0.76) and cardiovascular death (0.9 vs 1.2/100 py, HR: 0.78, 95% CI 0.64 to 0.96). During 1.02 years after early stopping, participants originally randomised to the combination compared with those randomised to aspirin had similar rates of the composite (2.1 vs 2.0/100 py, HR: 1.08, 95% CI 0.84 to 1.39) and cardiovascular death (1.0 vs 0.8/100 py, HR: 1.26, 95% CI 0.85 to 1.86) but higher stroke rate (0.7 vs 0.4/100 py, HR: 1.74, 95% CI 1.05 to 2.87) including a significant increase in ischaemic stroke during the first 6 months after switching to non-study aspirin.ConclusionDiscontinuing study rivaroxaban and aspirin to non-study aspirin was associated with the loss of cardiovascular benefits and a stroke excess.Trial registration numberNCT01776424.

Background: In patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD), a key treatment goal is to improve their health status; their symptoms, function, and quality of life (QoL). While medical therapy with lifestyle changes is recommended in all, revascularization can be a consideration to alleviate PAD symptoms. We sought to compare the real-world impact of either treatment strategy on patients’ health status improvement. Methods: Patients with new or worsening PAD symptoms (Rutherford category 1-3), from 10 U.S. specialty vascular clinics between 2011-2015, who either underwent early revascularization (using stent, angioplasty or surgery within 3 months of enrolment) or medical management alone (statin, aspirin, cilostazol, supervised exercise therapy, risk factor (diabetes, hypertension) management) were identified from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Related to Treatment Practices in Peripheral Arterial Disease: Investigating Trajectories (PORTRAIT) registry. The Peripheral Artery Questionnaire (PAQ) was used to assess patients’ disease-specific health status at enrollment and at 3, 6 and 12 months of follow up. The differences in PAQ overall summary scores, and each subdomain, were compared using an adjusted generalized linear model for repeated measures (Figure 1). Results: Among 797 patients (mean age of 68.6 years, 58.1% male), 226 underwent early revascularization and 571 were managed medically. At baseline, patients in the revascularization vs. medical management cohort had lower PAQ summary scores (mean ± SD; 42.6 ± 20.7 vs. 48.5 ± 22.3, P<0.001) and QoL scores (43.4 ± 23.9 vs. 50.4 ± 26.4, P<0.001). Over 1 year of follow-up, patients who underwent revascularization reported significantly higher health status over time than patients managed medically without revascularization (P <0.001 for all PAQ sub-domains; Figure 1). Conclusion: Patients with PAD who received early revascularization had worse health status at baseline, but they reported a greater degree of improvement over 1 year of follow-up when compared to patients managed medically without revascularization. Summarizing real-world health status benefits following a PAD diagnosis is critical to help guide preference-sensitive decisions on PAD management.
